last statement sank into everyoneâs mind.
Holstering his weapons and lowering his cap over his head, Calvin followed suit and sat on his cycle. With a glance to the moonlight, Calvin revved his cycle. His third eye sprung open at the sound of a comforting motherly voice, syncing with his psyche as images flashed before him.
Visions fed his mind as he understood what was going on. He put a gloved hand in the air for the fellas to see within, and both Macro and Khamun listened as he entered their mind.
â None of the seers could feel this, but we canât go after them like this. We hafta hit them women at a different angle, so you can still do what you do, Khamun. Iâm being told that theyâre at their famâs home and being questioned by the Blue. â
Brows furrowed, Calvinâs jade eyes illuminated as he licked his lips and tilted his hooded head to the side. â Yo, your moms, Lady Eldress is channeling some heavy info, Khamun. She said sheâs been trying to position us where we can help the ladies, but since the other seers ainât having her dreams, she thought she was having memories of past guides weâve helped. Sheâs upsetânaw, scrap thatâsheâs pissed. â
With a quick glance at Marco, who was ready to do damage, Khamun clutched the wheel of his ride, mentally listening to their brother-in-arms relay what they needed to know.
â She said, âGo protect, go interfere.â Know what Iâm sayin? But do not make yourselves known to the ladies, not yet. Ya heard me? She said to use the business to help them out, tell them that we heard what happened, and we want to move them to the building they had been looking at ASAP and that the fee will be taken care of because of what happened. I have to put a protection barrier around their homes, you know, do my thang, foâ sho. â
Marco chimed in with restrained anger, â Comprendo. So we donât let âem know what we are, but they get to meet the men behind the business. Letâs do this. I feel their asses surrounding the guides, bro. We need to move out. â
Khamun clenched his fists, sitting back and thinking, while a nerve in his jaw began twitching. He zoned out as he thought over the whole game plan. â Okay, this is what we do. We wait some days to let them know who Protection Corps is. I need to hunt those bastards. We need to hunt them bastards. They stepped over into my territory . . . our territory. â
Marco flashed a brief dimpled smile, and his fangs lengthened. His grey eyes darkened, and he heard Calvin load his gun and strap it to his back, while adjusting himself on his bike.
âAâight! Slayer to Stalker, blood to blood, time to make it do what it do, familia !â he shouted out loud.
Driving off from their complex, Calvin glanced over his shoulder as he watched the massive building cloak itself in a mirage-like shimmer, appearing as a destroyed shipping dock. He had to remember to thank his adopted sister, Kalika, for choosing a great spot when she came back from India. Kali was their local tech Mystic and Slayer. She wasnât a traditional Mystic, which always made her feel like an outcast, but that made her perfect for this house full of outcasts.
Calvin couldnât wait to see his sis again. He still recalled how they had fallen into each otherâs life back in Harlem at the park eleven years ago. That meeting was the catalyst in learning that he was an Immortal. More than that, in this new life of his, he was now a partial Mystic, something he didnât realize heâd come back as. All of his lives, he could remember being trained as a Slayer. He even remembered being gifted with immortality in the bayous of Louisiana.
It made him smile and tighten his large hands on the handlebars of his cycle in fury. That life didnât give him the happy memories he wanted, except for being gifted, but it was what it
